Chapter 329 Disillusioned

The palace banquet did not last long.

It is said that His Royal Highness Prince Yu from the South is very interested in the auspiciousness of the Jin Kingdom, and he proposed to talk to the Princess in person in the hall.

However, as soon as this sentence came out, the Eighth Prince Yan Yun said: "Men and women should not touch each other, and it is not good for Prince Yu to meet with the imperial sister alone."

The Prince Yu paused, then smiled indifferently: "The system of the South is slightly different from that of the Jin Kingdom. I was negligent. Sorry."

Yan Yun stared at the impeccable smile on his lips, always thinking that the other party just looked elegant.

"Most of the systems in the Jin Kingdom are not reasonable. Li'er is trying to break those old customs." Jiang Yi ignored Yan Yun's words and looked at Prince Yu. "Ordinary men and women should indeed abide by the difference between men and women to avoid suspicion, but Yan Li, as the regent princess, will often deal with the civil and military officials in the future. The rule of not touching men and women is no longer applicable to her."

Yan Yun's hand holding the wine cup tightened, and his eyes withdrew from Prince Yu's face, and his eyes had darkened.

Jiang Yi's tone became more gentle: "Besides, Prince Yu is a distinguished guest of the Southern Kingdom. This palace should not use any unreasonable rules as an excuse to reject Prince Yu's request."

Yan Yun's face was slightly stiff, and he lowered his head and said: "Mother, you are right. It is my son who has not considered it carefully."

"In this case, the little prince would rather obey your order respectfully." Prince Yu raised the wine cup and gestured to Emperor Wen and Jiang Yi, "The little prince toasts the emperor and the queen."

Emperor Wen returned the gift: "Prince Yu is polite."

The guests and hosts in the hall were all happy and joyful. The friendly attitude of the emperor, empress and Prince Yu completely suppressed the undercurrents below.

Yan Chen's internal organs were filled with hatred, and he almost wanted to rush over and kick Prince Yu's desk over and let him get out of Jin immediately.

Auspicious sign?

It's ridiculous.

An orphan from Mu Kingdom not only became the eldest princess of Jin Kingdom, but now even has the title of auspicious sign.

Who would believe it if no one was behind it?

Whether it was the Queen paving the way for Yan Li, or Yan Li's own conspiracy, all of this was extremely absurd.

Such a ridiculous thing had never happened in the history of time.

Thinking of the military power that was easily taken back by General Rong, Yan Chen's hatred fermented wildly, and he wanted to rush out of the palace, let General Rong mobilize the Jingji Guards to enter the palace to clear the court, and shoot all these evil spirits with arrows to death.

Shoot them all, don't even think about escaping!

However, his idea was destined to be impossible to realize.

After the palace banquet, Prince Yu went to the Imperial Garden under the guidance of the palace servants - although there was no need to avoid the difference between men and women, the harem was not a place where Prince Yu, an outsider, could go conveniently.

So Yan Li, who had received the report in advance, directly arranged the meeting place in the warm pavilion of the Imperial Garden.

Prince Yu arrived at the Imperial Garden with the palace servants.

Yan Chen left the palace as soon as possible, praying in his heart that Mrs. Rong could delay for a while, and then think of a way after he went there.

However, things did not go as planned. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he met Xuan Nanfeng who was returning from his work.

Yan Chen paused, and his hand hanging by his side tightened subconsciously: "Commander Xuan."

"Second Prince." Xuan Nanfeng turned over and dismounted, saluted Yan Chen, "I have a mission to complete, so I will take my leave first."

"Xuan Nanfeng." Yan Chen stared at him with a pair of eyes, and there was a cold light in his eyes, "General Rong was seriously injured and unconscious, and the military token will be found later."

Xuan Nanfeng looked at him expressionlessly, and nodded slowly: "Thank you for your concern, Second Prince, I will take my leave first."

Without waiting for Yan Chen to say anything more, he walked into the palace.

Yan Chen turned around and stared at his back, seeing that he was walking as fast as the wind, holding his head high and chest out, and he looked like he had not completed his mission at all.

"Second Prince." The blue-clothed servant beside him asked, "Are we still going?"

Yan Chen came back to his senses, looking unpredictable: "Where are we going?"

The blue-clothed servant was speechless.

Just now, the Second Prince looked like he wanted to go to General Rong's mansion, but now that Commander Xuan has returned from his work, will they go to the General's mansion?

Of course.

Yan Chen closed his eyes gently and turned to walk in another direction: "I'll go to the Imperial Hospital first and bring some supplements to visit General Rong's injuries."

The servant was a little worried: "General Rong has just been punished by the Queen. Doesn't the Second Prince need to avoid suspicion at this critical moment? There are so many people outside..."

"What is there to avoid?" Yan Chen said coldly, "The more people there are, the less you need to avoid suspicion. What does this prince have to lose now?"

It's not just one or two days that he has a good relationship with the Rong family. Who in the capital doesn't know it?

Deliberately avoiding suspicion will only make people think that he is heartless and ungrateful. Even if there is a day to turn things around in the future, those who follow him will still have concerns.

So there is nothing to avoid suspicion. Everything is just to win people's hearts.

However, even thinking this way, on the way to the Imperial Hospital, Yan Chen still felt the despair of having nothing.

He was disheartened and filled with hatred.

The Yanling Kang family was gone, the Rong General's Mansion was gone, and he, the second prince, was now only left with a nominal title of prince... no, it should be said that he was a newly conferred prince.

The bare prince title, except for a palace and the servants, had nothing else.

After moving out of the palace, he had to live on the little prince's salary.

Without the Yanling Kang family as a backing, he could not even use money as recklessly as before, let alone recruit soldiers and cultivate power.

To win over officials in the court and to cultivate personnel, which one does not require money?

Yan Chen sneered in his heart.

The Queen really had good intentions for her daughter.

Now that he had lost the Rong family and the military power, he even lost his voice. Who among the royal nobles in the capital would take him seriously?

If I had known this earlier, if I had known this earlier...

"Your Highness, do you think the Rong family can be saved?" The servant beside him said worriedly, "The Qi family was confiscated, and many people outside said that it would implicate Your Highness. Now that the Rong family is in trouble again, Your Highness should be more cautious."

Yan Chen's face changed slightly, and he stopped unconsciously.

The servant stopped and said with his head down: "Whether you can make a comeback in the future is unknown, but saving your life is the most important thing now. I think it's better for Your Highness to avoid suspicion."

Yan Chen looked ugly and stared at him coldly: "Do you also think I have failed miserably?"

"I dare not!" The servant knelt down immediately in fear, "I don't mean that at all, please understand, Your Highness!"

Yan Chen frowned and turned his head subconsciously: "Get up."

"Yes."

"I am different from my elder brother, and the Qi family is different from the Rong family." Yan Chen said this, but turned and left, obviously giving up the idea of ​​going to the Imperial Hospital, "The Qi family privately forged the jade seal, which is a serious crime of killing nine clans, and no one can save them."

The Rong family is at best a problem of attitude. They are arrogant and disrespectful in front of the emperor, but they will not end up like the Qi family.

However, the servant's words reminded Yan Chen.

Although the Rong family is not guilty of death at the moment, if they don't know how to restrain themselves in the future, whether they live or die is not a matter of a word from the queen.
